State Solution
(Type of Activity: Program Implementation and Outreach )

Provide sustained technical assistance and partnerships. Ensure smaller jurisdictions and CBOs receive long-term support for data collection, communication, and grant writing, and activate universities as partners for evaluation and technical expertise.

Existing Examples of Progress: EPA’s Thriving Communities TA program – Provided grant reviews, translations into plain language, tracking of opportunities, and training to hundreds of organizations in Region 9. Identified as a successful model of broad, accessible TA before its termination. SGC’s CACE portfolio – Includes Regional Climate Collaborative, Tribal Capacity Building, BOOST, and TCC programs. These initiatives support partnerships, governance structures, and full lifecycle capacity building (from partner identification through implementation).
